Where [attrib] is #1-6 corresponding to the order of Attribute in the Character screen and value is the number it is to be INCREASED by (the "setattrib" is misleading).

EDIT: Nvm, apparently it's VERY temporary, as 5 minutes later I discovered I no longer had the extra attribute points.

You're really better off just using the command runscript addxp 100000. Then just hit the tilde, up arrow, then enter to run the same command as many times as you like for infinite skill points, attributes, and levels.

If you have the Steam version of Dragon Age 2, go to your "Library" tab and right-click on Dragon Age 2. Select Properties. In the General tab you will see a "Set launch options..." button. Click on it and add -enabledeveloperconsole to the start options field.

I was having the same problem, going straight to the launcher and not taking the shortcut commands as the launcher was the one launching it.

The fix i found is here: dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console

I'll copy and paste the relevant portions.

---Another option is to edit the file …\Dragon Age\data\DAOriginsLauncher.xml (i.e., within your Program Files folder). This will allow you to run the game from its normal shortcut but requires you to edit a game file which should be done carefully and not before taking a backup of the file. Find the line[condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\SystemInformation.xml"]

The line below should be something like this:[true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" autoquit="true" /]

Add an attribute arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole" to it make it read [true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" autoquit="true" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole" /]

Essentially you're changing the way the launcher starts the game, now you need to modify this to dragonage2.exe instead of daorigins.exe but other than that it worked perfect for me.

also do to formatting constraints on posting here you can't use the proper > and < symbols, so i've replaced them above with ] and [

Very nice post dehotz. Came on to post the same info. Gotta love a sage with 1 post. :P Though probably one of the most informative posts I've seen. Now, the big question. For some reason my steam was screwing up so I couldn't Pre-Order the thing. Finally had to reinstall steam today. ...though because it was after midnight the game was released and I couldn't PO it.

There a way to use the console to unlock that sword? I got the market but I really wanted that sword and couldn't order the damn thing ahead of time.

Grammar and punctuation is the difference between; "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse." ...and... i helped my uncle jack off a horse.
